From harsh weather climates to cold winter nights, The North Face has been supplying outerwear and warmth since the company’s humble beginnings as a small retail location in 1966. Named after the coldest, unforgiving side of a mountain, the “Never Stop Exploring™” brand has since grown to a much larger consumer base and integrated themselves into both a performance and lifestyle audience. Whether you’re out hiking the mountains or tailgating at a football game, The The North Face has reached different subsets of people while consistently putting out quality products. TNF not only breathes high performance outwear/accessories, but it’s also a brand that encourages one to defy the elements and excel at one’s passion. As we embark on the 56th year of the brand’s existence, the longevity should be celebrated as the TNF continues to usher in new ways of pushing the limits.
One of the biggest success stories from The North Face’s catalogue is the iconic and essential 1992 Nuptse Puffer Jacket. Named after the Tibetan translation of “West Peak,” the Nuptse is an area known as the “golden mine of climbing” and is located a mile from the West Peak of Mt. Everest. From there exploration here, the design team knew that they wanted to create a high-performance piece that was light in weight and thus leading to the birth of the Nuptse Jacket. While seeing many iterations and colorways over the years, the half dome embroidered logo, jacket cut and colorblocking has come to be as recognizable in fall/winter fashion as a pair of boots. This cornerstone jacket is a must-have for this winter and the next as the durability and quality are unmatched. Factor in the affordable price point, the 1992 Nuptse Jacket offers the perfect balance for both explorers and fashion enthusiasts. You can check out the latest offerings and iterations of the Nuptse both online and in-store.
